And when you consider the amount of jokes he likely heard about his name growing, you can’t blame him for wanting to have a bit of fun with it.
Dick was up to his crude hijinks again on Monday, sending Toronto Raptors teammate Immanuel Quickley a birthday message in his Instagram stories.
“Happy bday brudda!” Dick wrote while tagging Quickley, which is innocent enough.
Raptors’ Gradey Dick wished Immanuel Quickley a happy birthday on social media. InstagramHowever, the picture attach appeared to be taken in the Raptors gift shop, with Dick’s jersey blocking out the ‘LEY’ of Quickley’s name to form the phrase “Quick Dick.”
Quickley acknowledged Dick’s latest joke, replying, “My boy couldn’t wait.”
This was not the first time this year that Dick set up a photo op to exploit his humorous last name.
After a game in March, Dick got together with Orlando Magic rookie Anthony Black to combine on a jersey swap that had the Internet howling.

Dick and Black were chatting after the game when the two decided to take part in a traditional show of respect — a jersey swap.
Raptors’ Gradey Dick and Orlando Magic rookie Anthony Black hold each other’s jerseys after Sunday’s game. TwitterBlack quickly went to grab a team photographer, then traded shirts with Dick and the duo posed for a quick snap.
It was clear that the two players were in on the joke, with Black swapping spots with Dick to get the meme just right.
The next day, Dick downplayed the joke, saying of Black: “That’s my guy. I’ve been playing against and with him since my middle-school days.”

Both players were in their first seasons in the NBA and were selected with a lottery picks in the 2023 draft.
“That’s been my guy for a long time. Guys jersey swap with their boys. That’s my friend,” Dick said.
After the latest mashup with his teammate, we’re sure that this won’t be the last time we see Dick poke a little fun at himself.
